“…So far the most attractive candidate SRO pump sources are master-oscillator power-amplifier (MOPA) systems based on semiconductor oscillators and Yb-doped fiber amplifiers. The gain bandwidth of Yb extends from 1.03 to 1.1 m, which is well matched to the tuning range of InGaAs-GaAs semiconductor lasers [9]. distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) diodes offer a narrow linewidth and rapid wavelength tuning, which has been transferred into the midinfrared via fiber amplification and an SRO [10], [11].…”

We describe the wide and rapid wavelength tuning of a continuous-wave master-oscillator power-amplifier system consisting of a semiconductor-amplifier-based oscillator and an ytterbium (Yb)-doped fiber amplifier. The oscillator utilizes an acoustooptic tunable filter and an intracavity etalon to achieve wavelength tuning of 36 nm in 5 ms. The 50-mW output from the master oscillator was amplified to over 9 W in an Yb-doped fiber amplifier.

“…The suitability of Ytterbiumdoped fibers for the amplification of diode lasers operating in the region of 1.06µm, also shown in the previous chapters, can then be exploited to amplify such pulse trains to high average powers. This chapter describes the first realization of the fiber amplification of a widely tunable actively mode-locked diode laser at a wavelength around 1.06µm in an Ytterbium-doped fiber [96]. The actively mode-locked diode laser produces picosecond pulses at GHz repetition rate across its tuning range, whose power is amplified to multi-Watt level in a 36m long Ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier.…”

Widely and rapidly wavelength tunable near-infrared laser sources are of importance for a variety of applications such as Fourier domain optical coherence tomography, optical frequency domain reflectometry and fiber grating array monitors, but also for applications involving optical pumping of gases. Of particular interest is to make such wide and rapid wavelength tuning available in the mid-infrared molecular fingerprint region, wherecarbon-hydrogen molecules show highly specific and strong vibrational resonances. A promising way to achieve this goal is the efficient non-linear downconversion of the named near-infrared sources with singly resonant optical parametric oscillators (SROs).
